There are quite a number of people who do not believe in heaven or hell. But that doesn't change the fact. I may say,"I do not believe in the Himalayan mountains. I haven't seen them and so I don't believe they exist." But the Himalayan mountains still stand high. Whether you believe in heaven and hell or not, heaven and hell exist.
Heaven or hell first starts in your own heart. "The kingdom of God [heaven] is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost" (Romans 14:17). If your is filled with peace and pure joy, heaven was already started in your life; you are on the way to heaven and in the end you will be in eternal heaven. Similarly, if your heart is now filled with fear, torment, hatred, confusion and darkness, hell has already started in your life; all through your life you will experience "hell" and finally you will be in eternal hell.
In the story of the Prodigal Son, when the boy left the father's home and "wasted his substance with riotous living" (Luke 15:13), he began to experience "hell," and heaven was no more in his heart. As he had lost "heaven" in his heart, he confessed to his father - "I have sinned against heaven" (Luke 15:21). When he humbled himself, and repented and confessed his sins, joy and peace, or heaven, was once again restored to him.
When the backslider King Saul realized that he would soon be dead, he was tormented with fear (I Samuel 28:20), as he was going to eternal hell. However, look at the blessed hope, peace and joy that filled Paul's heart when he realized he was to leave this world soon (II Timothy 4:6-8). He knew for sure that he would be in eternal heaven.
The torments of hell and the comforts of heaven differ depending upon one's works on earth. For instance, the hottest place or the depths of hell is prepared for immoral people (Proverbs 9:18). The highest rewards and the greatest heavenly pleasures are for those who lived a humble and holy life, serving the Lord (Revelation 14:1-5).
Dear brother/sister, perhaps you are a sinner or a backslider. Darkness, hatred, an uforgiving spirit, confusion, fear and torment may be filling your heart. You are indeed already in "hell." Why don't you humble yourself, like the prodigal son, and turn to your heavenly Father with deep repentance, and confess, "Father, I have sinned against heaven."
"Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." in other words, repent till the kingdom of heaven with all its peace and joy, fills your heart.

Dear Brother,
ReplyDeleteKingdom of Heaven will be established in this very earth. That's the reason our Lord asked us to pray "Thy Kingdom come(here)".
Please explain what happens when a person dies?
Use only biblical versus not men's experience. What God meant when He said to Adam 'Surely thou shalt die'?
Also Why the same word 'Sheol' in Hebrew is translated, hell, pit, grave and in tamil naragam, kuzhi, paathalam. Which is correct?
தீமைக்கு யார் காரணம்?
